Who says summer is just for college and high school students eager to soak up some sun? Businesses can have a little fun too.
The Las Vegas Metro of Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday hosted the “Summer of Small Business” at the 2015 Business Expo, a networking event for anyone interested in swapping business cards, making connections and tasting free food, of course.
More than 150 booths for restaurants, banks and other companies set up shop at the Cashman Center.
Bags are available for people as they enter the 2015 Business Expo on Wednesday, June 10, 2015, at the Cashman Center.
People who missed the expo still have an opportunity to benefit from it, though. Here are a few deals that can benefit small businesses.
